The Pre-K application period opens in March.

Pre-Kindergarten Admissions

* Programs are available at public schools and Community-Based Early Childhood Centers
- Apply online or in-person at an Enrollment Office starting in March.
- There is no advantage to applying early. All applications submitted by the deadline will be processed at the same time.
